Precautions
Refer installation work to the dealer.•
Installation work requires technique and experiences. Failure to observe this may cause fire,
electric shock, injury, or damage to the product. Be sure to consult the dealer.
Avoid installing this bracket in the locations where salt damage occurs or corrosive•
gas is produced.
Otherwise, the mounting portions will deteriorate and accidents such as a fall of the camera
may occur.
Use only the specified camera.•
Failure to observe this may cause a fall of an inappropriate camera resulting in injury or acci-
dents. Refer to the catalog or the installation guide of the camera for supported cameras.
The screws and fixation mechanisms shall be tightened securely.•
Failure to observe this may cause a fall of the camera resulting in injury.
The measures of protection against a fall of the camera shall be taken.•
Failure to observe this may cause injury. Be sure to install the safety wire.
Select an installation area that can support the total weight.•
If a selected area is too weak to support the total weight, a fall of the product may occur result-
ing in injury. Installation work shall be started after sufficient reinforcement.
Preface
This ceiling mount bracket is exclusively designed to mount the camera on a ceiling. Refer to the
catalog or the installation guide of the camera for supported cameras.
This bracket can be used for an area with weak pull-out strength such as plasterboard in a double
ceiling.
This bracket is an embedded type to reduce the exposed portion of the camera body.

Periodic inspections shall be conducted.•
Rust on the metal parts or screws may cause a fall of the product resulting in injury. Consult the
dealer for the inspections.
Do not rub the edges of metal parts with your hand.•
Failure to observe this may cause injury.
Consult the dealer about the installation area to select a strong ceiling area. Make sure that the•
installation area is strong enough to hold the total weight of the camera assembly (approx. 2.8 kg
{6.13 lbs.}) before installation.
The installation area shall have 210 mm {8-9/32"} or more space behind the ceiling.•
210 mm {8-9/32"} or more
Ceiling board: between 9 mm {3/8"}
and 40 mm {1-9/16"}
The thickness of the ceiling board for installation can range between 9 mm {3/8"} and•
40 mm {1-9/16"}.
Avoid installing in the following locations.•
Locations where it may get wet from rain or water splash (not only outdoor)•
Locations where a chemical agent is used such as a swimming pool•
Locations subject to steam and oil smoke such as a kitchen•
Locations near flammable gas or vapor•
Locations where radiation or x-ray emissions are produced•
Locations subject to strong magnetic field or radio waves•
Locations where it may be damaged by briny air such as seashores•
Locations where the temperature is not within -10 C- + 50 C {14 F - 122 F}.•
Locations subject to vibrations (This product is not designed for on-vehicle use.)•
Locations where the temperature may rapidly change such as the peripheral areas of the air•
outlets of air conditioners or doors facing outside. (In case of installing the camera in such
locations, the dome cover may become foggy or condensation may be caused on the
cover.)
The screws and bolts must be tightened with an appropriate tightening torque according to the•
material and strength of the installation area. After tightening the screws or bolts, perform visual
check to ensure tightening is enough and there is no backlash.

Installations
Be sure to read "Precautions" before installation. The Installation Guide of the camera shall be read
as well.
Put Template A (accessory) against the1.
ceiling and make a hole.
Make 4 holes of 12 mm {1/2"} in diameter.1
Remove the center part from the tem-2
plate.
Make a hole of 220 mm {8-43/64"} in3
diameter.

Template A
* 1 The hole shape is shown below.
* 2 [ For those concerned with the direction of
the brand logo]
In order to set the position of the brand
logo on the decorative cover you installed
in Step 14 at the 12 mm hole, you must
perform the required operations during
Step 1.
Perform Step 1to make sure the desired
brand logo direction matches the "Brand
logo side" setting on Template A. Also
pay attention to this setting when per-
forming Step 6 later.
Install two anchor bolts (M10 recommended) into the concrete ceiling.2.
Determine the anchor bolt length by use of Template B (accessory).1
Position the nut by use of Template B (accessory). (The distance between the bottom sur-2
faces of the ceiling board and nut shall be 169 mm {6-21/32"}.)

Note: If there is already an anchor bolt installed, the anchor bolt can be used as a second
anchor bolt. Make sure that the distance between the 1st and 2nd anchor bolts is 1 000
mm {39-3/8"} or less before use.

3. Mount the safety wire angle (accessory) on the 2nd anchor bolt and connect the safe-
ty wire (accessory) to the angle.
Disconnect the safety wire from the1
safety wire angle.
Engage the face marked2 1with the
anchor bolt.
Bend the face marked3 2.
Connect the safety wire to the safety4
wire angle again.
Note: To use the anchor bolt that was already installed, the use of 2 spacer nuts is helpful.

7. Secure the mounting chassis to the
ceiling board with the ceiling board
fixing screws (4 positions).
Engage the top of the mounting chas-1
sis with the 1st anchor bolt.
Secure the mounting chassis by turn-2
ing the ceiling board fixing screws
clockwise.
Turning the ceiling board fixing screws
clockwise provides ceiling board tight-
ening between the bottom of the
mounting chassis and ceiling board
fixing bracket resulting in mounting
chassis securing.
(Recommended tigtening torque:
0.78 N •m {0.58 lbf •ft}
Secure the top of the mounting chas-3
sis with double nuts.
Important: When securing this bracket on
the ceiling, make sure that the four ceil-
ing board fixing brackets are open as
shown in the figure.
Prepare the cables.8.
Run the cables from the space of the mounting chassis.

9. Attach the base unit or the camera
mounting bracket to the camera
mounting stage.
Insert and tighten the 4 screws (M4, acces-
sory)
(Recommended tightening torque:
1.57 N •m {1.16 lbf •ft})
Note:
Which component to attach depends•
on the camera model. The base unit is
a main unit component of the camera
and the camera mounting bracket is an
accessory of the camera.
The base unit is attached in figures•
shown in the following descriptions.
Important:
Make sure to attach the camera mounting bracket in correct direction. If you attempt to•
attach it in the wrong direction, some part of it will interfere with the camera mounting
stage. Do not try to forcibly attach it as it may cause a failure or falling.

10. Mount the camera mounting stage on
the mounting chassis.
Insert the camera mounting stage1
flanges (3 flanges) into the flange slots
(3 slots) in the camera mounting chas-
sis. Push it into the mounting chassis
as far as it will go.
Once it is inserted into the mounting2
chassis, rotate it clockwise until it con-
tacts the mounting chassis’s turn stop-
per.
Caution: If it is difficult to move,
grasp the flanges and legs and
rotate.
Insert and tighten the 3 screws you3
removed in Step 4. * Refer to <Fig.A>
(Recommended tightening torque:
1.57 N •m {1.16 lbf •ft})
Insert and tighten the 3 screws you4
removed in Step 4. * Refer to <Fig.B>
(Recommended tightening torque:
